3. Remember that most bitrate and fps patches are for testers. Most of them work quite strange, so do not expect current GH1 patches behaviour.With time we'll be able to understand GH2 AVCHD encoder better.

4. How to update firmware: a. Load GH2 1.0E firmware, see 1. how to get it. b. Check all necessary patches, Version increment must be always checked. c. Save firmware. Just change last digit to any number you want. d. Copy firmware to root of SD card. Fully charge you battery. Do not even attempt to use AC coupler! e. Power off your camera if it was on. f. Power on camera. After this press (not hold) green play button. g. You'll see hourglass and prompt to update. h. Press down arrow and after this Menu/set. i. Wait until upgrade will be completed.

So do I apply this patch in exactly the same way as what I read about the GH1?

* fully charge original battery* increase version number of hacked firmware by 10 in pTool* copy hacked firmware to the root of the SD card* put SD card in camera* power up* press and hold the slideshow button

I tried to record in 1080i (pal version) and return a error about the speed of the card... I had to take off the battery to shut down the camera. Then I plug the nanoflash recorder and still shows 1080i on that device, but then it record to the SD card while pluged to nanoflash... the picture is completed screwed: green blocks and compression artifacts... Didn´t try to record with nanoflash but should be ok, as he detects the 1080i signal!

You don't need to use 1080 progressive and 1080i50,00>50,00p at the same time :-)1080 progressive alone is for 25p/30p encoder (depending on your PAL/NTSC setting).Whole point of this patches is to try them on very low detailed scene, like out of focus dark corner :-)
